I’m thrilled that Backpacker Magazine has chosen my image of a backpacker hiking on a sand dune in Great Sand Dunes National Park as one of its 12 Best Photos Ever.

“If the average picture is worth 1,000 words, the best wilderness images from BACKPACKER’s top photographers are worth millions.”

This photo of backpacker Sarah Hill originally appeared in the September 2002 Issue of Backpacker Magazine. You can see my image along with the other 11 chosen images in a slide show on the Backpacker web site here.
